Apple Magic Mouse
It began with iPhone. Then came iPod touch. Then MacBook Pro. Intuitive, smart, dynamic. Multi-Touch technology introduced a remarkably better way to interact with your portable devices - all using gestures. Now we've reached another milestone by bringing gestures to the desktop with a mouse that's unlike anything ever before. It's called Magic Mouse. It's the world's first Multi-Touch mouse. And while it comes standard with every new iMac, you can also add it to any Bluetooth-enabled Mac for a Multi-Touch makeover.
Amazon.com Product Description:
With Magic Mouse, Apple has brought Multi-Touch technology to the desktop mouse, giving you a new and more intuitive way to interact with your computer. Just as with iPhone, iPod touch, and MacBook Pro, the Bluetooth Magic Mouse adds gestures and swipes to the usual clicks to bring more functionality and help you get more done with less effort.

One look at Magic Mouse and you'll know it's something special that only Apple could dream up. With a low-profile design and seamless top shell, you'll marvel at this beautiful mouse and its smooth, buttonless appearance.
It's not all looks, though. Once you touch it, you'll appreciate how good it feels in your hand. And the magic really begins when you start using it. The Multi-Touch surface covers the entire top of the mouse, and the mouse itself is the button. Scroll in any direction with one finger, swipe through web pages and photos with two, and click and double-click anywhere. Inside Magic Mouse is a chip that tells it exactly what you want to do. Which means Magic Mouse won’t confuse a scroll with a swipe. It even knows when you’re just resting your hand on it.
Laser-Tracking Engine
Magic Mouse uses powerful laser tracking that’s far more sensitive and responsive on more surfaces than traditional optical tracking. That means it tracks with precision on nearly every surface - whether it’s a table at your favorite cafe or the desk in your home office - without the need for a mousepad.
Wireless Convenience with Easy Bluetooth Setup
Magic Mouse connects wirelessly to your Mac via Bluetooth, so there’s no wire or separate adapter to worry about. Pair Magic Mouse with your Bluetooth-enabled Mac and enjoy a reliable and secure connection up to 33 feet away. When you combine Magic Mouse with the Apple Wireless Keyboard, you create a workspace free of annoying cables.
And because Magic Mouse is wireless, it can venture beyond the confines of your desk. A quick flick of the on/off switch helps conserve battery power while Magic Mouse is tucked in your bag. Even when it’s on, Magic Mouse manages power efficiently, by detecting periods of inactivity automatically.
Make One Great Gesture After Another
Multi-Touch technology on the iPhone and iPod touch introduced a breakthrough way to interact with your content. Magic Mouse, with its Multi-Touch surface, does the same thing for your Mac. When you use gestures, it’s as if you’re touching what’s on your screen. For instance, swiping through web pages in Safari gives you the feeling of flicking through pages in a magazine. And scrolling with Magic Mouse isn’t your everyday scrolling. It supports momentum scrolling (similar to iPhone and iPod touch), where the scrolling speed is dictated by how fast or slowly you perform the gesture.
 Stunning, beautiful design by Apple. View larger. |
Maybe you want scrolling but don’t want swiping. Or two-button clicking instead of one. Whatever the case, Magic Mouse works the way you want it to work. All you do is go to the Magic Mouse preference pane in System Preferences to enable or disable features.
The ambidextrous design of Magic Mouse means it fits comfortably in your right hand if you’re a righty or in your left hand if you’re a lefty. And left-handers can easily swap left and right button functionality using System Preferences.
System Requirements
- Bluetooth-enabled Mac computer
- Mac OS X v10.5.8 or later with Wireless Mouse Software Update 1.0
- Existing keyboard and mouse for setup

A Mouse that Works
The Apple Magic Mouse is a true Apple product in that it "just works." This is a product that is of fantastic and simple design and is easy to use. I opened the mouse when it arrived from Amazon, turned a switch on, and it then worked immediately and just as advertised. This is how a product "experience" should unfold, yet I find such an unfolding increasingly infrequent with technology products. Kudos to Apple for making this product work so well.
The most impressive feature with this mouse is the multi-touch surface. I find myself scrolling with a mouse more and more frequently, and the Apple Magic Mouse makes the scrolling experience smooth, easy, and nearly effortless. Most other mice use some type of "roller" for scrolling functionality -- this mouse senses your touch and can even apply "momentum" to the direction and acceleration of your finger movements.
Apple Magic Mouse seems to "know" what you want the cursor to do. It makes the interface experience notably better as compared to all other input devices that I have used. I highly recommend the Apple Magic Mouse.
Arther C. Clarke is famous for having said, "Any sufficiently advanced technology is indistinguishable from magic." While the Apple Magic Mouse does not feel quite like magic, it is sufficiently advanced to warrant a purchase.
Got a mac, get one of these
It may be expensive but this is the best mouse I have ever used PERIOD.
If you like your multi-touch iPhone, iPod Touch, or MacBook mousepad, you will know what the Magic Mouse can do for you; it feels great in the hand and responds to all those familiar gestures - Apple does it again!!!
Expensive but pretty impressive...
I bought this as a gift for my wife who was pretty content with her regular mouse at the time. The overwhelming opinion in the house though seems to be that this was a great purchase. It doesn't change your life, but it just works intuitively. No issue with the battery life-haven't changed them yet. Haven't done any additional downloading to tweak it. Bought it direct from Apple at the time because Amazon was out. Took a couple of weeks before it was in stock but it showed up when they said it would. It's well liked by the whole family as this point and I wish I could get one for work.
Excellent Redesign of Mighty Mouse
I always was having problems keeping the ball clean on my Mighty Mouse. Couldn't get it apart to clean it like a 'balled' mouse :) This mouse doesn't have anything moving that dirty hands can clog!
Feels good to rub the back for scrolling and 2 finger swipe for previous/next- kinda' sensual? :)
